      Regarding Programming and it’s necessity in InfoSec: Is programming a core requirement of entry to get into every aspect of InfoSec? No. Do you need to learn, at some point, programming in order to advance in many areas of InfoSec? Yes, in some areas (but not all).

      In many areas of infosec, for entry level jobs, you’ll be competitive if you have a solid understanding (not mastery) of: - Systems (Windows, Linux) - Networking - Programming / Scripting - Web Applications - Threat Modeling (Attack Types, Defense Mitigations)

      You don’t need prior experience in another field anymore for some entry level areas! If you do have experience, great! You can definitely apply it. But it’s not required if you have some knowedge through study.

      Two great entry level areas are: Blue Team: Intrusion Detection (Security Operations Centers, Log Management) Red Team: Vulnerability Management (Running enterprise wide scanning systems, tracking tickets, Patch Management)

      All of the basics can be learned for free (money wise) but will take dedicated time and effort through study. The resources are available online (MOOCs) and at your local Library. Some resource examples follow:

          Aside from study there is practice: For Blue Team check out the tools, guides, and setup of Security Onion: https://securityonion.net/  For Red Team, check out Kali: https://www.kali.org/  For Target Practice, setup Metasploitable: https://www.vulnhub.com/series/metasploitable,9/ …

          Set all this up in your “lab” try to find the cheapest laptop you can find (ebay has several for $50 to $100 dollars) or grab an old one from a friend or family (8 gigs RAM is ideal but you can make due with less). Set it all up virtually (systems, net): https://www.virtualbox.org/

          Lastly, you need to network. Online Social networking is great. If you can do it in person, even better. Use http://meetup.com  to find local meetups. If no local meetup exists, make one and then grow it. Networking is key.

          If someone knows you. Knows what you have studied. Knows the effort you’re putting into it. They skip a chunk of the interview process and fastrack you to hire. Take advantage of every opportunity to network, learn, figure out what other teams are doing and what they need.

          To conclude: Do you need prior experience or be a coding expert to break into InfoSec? No. Do you need cursory knowledge to give you a foundation and a competitive edge? Yes! But that can be gotten through a “Dummies Guide” or online course.

          You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you will need to know a little bit of it all and be aware or how it all works. Now... once you break in. Will you need to begin to know some sort of code? Scripting? Boolean search strings? Probably. But it depends.

          InfoSec is huge and growing. Many different areas and specialties. Find folks that are doing it. Find out exactly where they are in the big mix. Find out what works for them and their team. Compare it to others. Then strike your own course.

          Exactly! A lot of InfoSec is managing people, information policy and guidelines, and compliance and auditing.https://twitter.com/adamharris_/status/1046018226449199104?s=21 …

          Not to mention the zero programming skills needed for GRC, IAM, and other security project management work. Find your niche.

          I just finished reading the Kali Linux Certified Professional (KLCP) book and was thoroughly impressed with how it covered Linux fundamentals: https://kali.training/  CompTIA’s Linux+ is also a good option
